The Alabama Crimson Tide dominated Western Kentucky 63-0 in Saturday evening’s season opener.
While Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer is 1-0 on the season, Hilltoppers head coach Tyson Helton is on the other end, as his team failed to score despite beating Alabama in the time of possession stat category by a large margin.
Helton spoke to reporters after the game. Here’s a full transcript of everything he said in the postgame press conference
Really good football team we played tonight in the University of Alabama. I tell you, they did everything you’re supposed to do. They were a big, physical football team. They played well, they were very cohesive with what they did. They got after us pretty good, so hats off to them, they’re 1-0. They got a great staff, a great team, and I expect great things from them this year. They really challenge a lot of people. As far as our football team, you know, at times I thought we did some good things. I thought we moved the ball well in the first half. Obviously, the turnovers cost, just for the interceptions. Defensively, we’ve had way too many explosive plays, as we all know, in the first half. Defense settled down a little bit in the second half, started to find their group a little bit offensively, we just couldn’t, couldn’t get it going. Good football team we played, and looking forward to watching those guys play the rest of the year.
